Implementing automatic white matter parcellation in Nighres

Nighres is an open-source Python package that enables high-resolution neuroimaging data to be easily and efficiently processed. Diffusion MRI is an imaging modality that is sensitive to random displacements of water molecules in brain tissue, yielding valuable information about the size, shape, and orientation of neurons. The purpose of this project is to help the neuroscience community by efficiently implementing an automated white matter parcellation algorithm in Nighres, which can be easily used without technical expertise, and by improving the algorithm to work with more realistic diffusion models than diffusion tensors. A comprehensive documentation and a tutorial will be written for the method to facilitate its use.
